Re: ODIN/***** realtime data to Amibroker, Metastock, Fcharts, Excel & txt with Backf

Dear Milind,

Yes, chartsdata will utilize clipboard functionalities to process datas and to update charts realtime. If you are running chartsdata then you might not be able to use cut copy paste functions some times.

Hi Loganathan,

I have been using ChartsData for a few weeks, on vista. I have noticed that whenever it is running, my cut-n-paste buffer is getting messed up - paste in excel ends up pasting the data from portfolio tracker in ChartsData. Are you aware of any related issue?

Thanks,

-- Milind

Dear Amar,

I am not sure what might be the problem with your system but as for others, if intraday data is coming then eod should come coz both are taken from the same source. Please check your system and try it again, EOD and intraday datas will be saved as csv files in csv/data folder.

Funnily, now I am able to get the data when I have NOT logged into yahoo, ( but have to make sure that the Yahoo radio button is enabled )

Is that the correct way to retrieve EOD data ?

Regards
Amar.

Dear FlowTrader,

Thanks, till june it will work fine and by first week of june i will release the trial version with few updations.

Hi Dude,
Somehow I managed to live with your CharData,but as I already told it is not acceptable to block clipboard functionality when we use your software.Because it is the basic service everybody using it frequently everyday.Think like this if one application needs to block keyboard ,another one is blocking mouse some other application is heavily dependent on cpu so we could not use cpu for any other application then how one could use his system effectively.Most of the person use single system for trading as well as other works.It would be better if you find out some alternative method for this.

Another problem is volume updation is not correct as per my expereience there is around 12% difference between your application volume updation and real volume information.I noticed this difference several days data at the end of trading.I couldn't know what is the difficulty in computing volume because we are getting volume information also from odin then simply substract current volume from previous volume for every updation and finalise the minute bars volume in the same way (substract current volume when the bar is going to end with the value of previous bars total).

Another difficulty I know it is not your software's problem but when I try to draw trendline or fibonacci line if your software updates metastock in that time then metastock throwing error and closing.I came to know unlike some of the data providers few others managed to update metastock without blinking(for this we should intall metastock in signal broadcast mode instead of esignal) so that metastock updation is not interupting drawing of trendline,fibonacci or any other interaction with metastock.

One more request is if it is possible then give us option to create atleast 5 minute interval chart presently we could get only one minute interval chart (metastock can handle only upto 65000 ticks)


It would be better if you solve the above said problems in your next updation and thank you for your great work.

Hi,

I downloaded your software & also installed it. But for some reason when I run it, a message comes saying,
"System Error &H8007007E (-2147024770). The specified module could not be found

Hi Mr.Loganathan,

Your software is the best one I've ever come across.

Since you are open to suggestions for it's improvement, I thought to share with you my views on it's further development. Here it goes:

1. I am facing a "MSwin" error whenever my cursor is over any bar in a Metastock Chart which causes Metastock to shut down. I think you need to fix this bug foremost or else we'll not be able to work on the charts in realtime.

2. When backfilling intraday, some bars remain missing. For example,lets say, I missed out from 12.00 to 12.30 pm. Now when I try to backfill using "1 Min - Last 1 Day" option although I get the bars from 12.00 to 12.30 pm, however, I do not get, say, the bar at 12.20 pm. and 12.25 pm.(I am using 5 min bars here.). This may be a bug or I may be doing something wrong. Please do guide me on how to go about it.

3. Your Backfill feature is excellent, however, I would suggest that you name "1 min - last 1 day" to simply "Intraday", for better understanding. And then you can have other options like " Historical -1 day", "Historical - 5 days", etc.

4. You can give a Warning Message dialogue, at the time of closing the program, so as to avoid accidental closing of the program.

4. You can also minimize it as a tray icon ( near the clock), so that the task bar remains uncluttered.

5. You can provide a flash message, in case ODIN feed stops / shuts down, etc.

Well, that's it. I hope you'll find my ideas worth thinking about. Once again, thank you for developing and sharing a wonderful software as Chartsdata.

Chandan

Hi,

I agree with Raju that blocking clipboard is certainly a big hassle. It will be good if that is avoided in next release.

I am using <NSE underlying>_I to name next month futures in my database. Couple of SIEOD sources also use similar format so it helps. I had trouble with some of them today when I changed MAY to JUN on the lhs side. It created a new symbol with spelling mistake - the code may want a second look.

Another request is to be able to import indexes from index view - is that possible?

That said - it remains very useful software, without which I will be lost importing ODIN data.

Thanks,
